Stu is a specialist in promoting improved school climate and cultivating positive interactions with all who share the school environment.

Join TASC for a weekend that will both motivate and rejuvenate you and your students at either Lakeview or Mo-Ranch. There will be advisor training and time for advisors to network with good friends.

TASC conducts two separate two separate weekend retreats designed to allow experienced student leaders interaction with one another for motivation and advanced training as they meet with top leadership trainers, experience personal growth as leaders, and rejuvenate for the spring semester. These workshops are limited in size, and it is recommended but not required that delegates have attended a TASC Summer Leadership Workshop previously. Attendees should be active, involved members of your council. The curriculum varies from year to year, depending on the consultant and the group. These workshops are open to grades 9-12. While summer leadership workshops focus on student council leadership training, the advanced workshops focus more on personal leadership qualities and skills.

Students interested in serving as JC's must submit an application by December 1. JC Applications are available under Awards / Student Recognition and on the Student Tab.
